All this sunny weather has got us hankering after our own bit of outside living. Here are 7 of the best outdoor spaces on our lust list right now.

1. What: A four bedroom property with incredible sea views, pour yourself a cocktail and be prepared to feel transported to much sunnier climes.

Positioned in a prime location in Newgale overlooking the award winning Blue Flag beach, the pièce de résistance of Llawenydd has to be the sunroom, which has stunning views over the beach. There’s even direct beach access from the gardens.

2. What: Your own stonekeep castle - in the garden. Bronllys is a Grade II* listed six bedroom country house occupying the site of a former Norman motte-and-bailey castle.

The main house is currently divided into two apartments, but is easily returned to one charming house.

Bronllys Castle itself is 80 feet tall and sits on the original motte. CADW currently care for and preserve the structure in order to safeguard its future, and the keep is open for the enjoyment of the public via a staircase to the rear which is separately approached from the road and has minimal impact on the property.

Where: Bronllys, Brecon, Powys

Price: £1,300,000

3. What: Countryside living in sight of the city. Brynhill is situated on Craig Llysfaen, the southern slopes of Cefn Ridge.

At around 200 metres above sea level, Brynhill has spectacular views over the city and across the Severn Estuary to the English coastline beyond and the hefty outside space means there’s plenty of room to enjoy it. And you’ll be pleased to know that as well as a floodlit pond, mature landscaping with established herbaceous borders, two paddocks and two stables there’s also a helicopter landing position on the main lawn. Phew.
